Collaboration Models for Food System Innovation explores how creative partnerships can accelerate climate-aligned innovation across the agrifood sector. With food systems contributing around one-third of global emissions, scaling solutions requires overcoming key barriers for sustainable agri-innovations—from reaching price competitiveness with conventional products to achieving social acceptance. Purpose-driven collaborations can strategically pool resources to address these issues.
Authored by Isabella Wedl, Senni Alho, and Leanne Zeppenfeldt, this discussion starter outlines a framework with 13 collaboration models for food system innovations and real-world examples that offer practical examples of how collaborations can drive impact.
